Viet Nam opposes Taiwan’s live-fire drills in East Sea
VGP - The organization of live-fire drills in the waters around Ba Binh island belonging to Viet Nam's Truong Sa (Spratly) is a serious infringement upon Viet Nam's territorial sovereignty over Truong Sa.
Spokeswoman of the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pham Thu Hang made the above statement on August 28 in response to reporters' queries about Viet Nam's reaction to the live-fire drills conducted by Taiwan.
Pham said this action poses a grave threat to peace, stability, maritime safety and security, causing tension and further complicating the situation in the East Sea.
"Viet Nam resolutely opposes and demands Taiwan refrain from repeating such violations," she added./.
